Notorious for it’s incredible atmostphere, the race is organised by baby charity, Tommy’s and raises a lot of money for good causes.
Congratulations to Paul Robertson who finished the course in 1:48:07!
It was amazing. Its my favourite race of the year. A little slower for me than last year but that just meant more time to savour the encouragement of all the charities and the street bands and performers. It’s just so much fun.

A go-to for club members, the Manchester Marathon boasts a fast and flat route supported by lively and friendly crowds that make for an excellent race atmosphere.
